It just means more. SEC fans are wired like no other, and long-suffering Georgia Bulldogs fans are willing to do a lot to see their team win a title. There hasn’t been a lot of real news today, so this poll on whether or not you would be willing to get shot in the leg in order for Georgia to win the national championship has been making the rounds. The results so far are plenty split, which is insane considering the topic at hand.
Per a (strange) conversation we are having on the Morning Show…
Would you take a NON LETHAL gunshot to the thigh in exchange for a UGA Football National Championship?

Stanford had bottomed out before Jim Harbaugh took over the program in 2007, and David Shaw has kept it rolling since Harbaugh left for the NFL at the end of the 2010 season. Shaw has led the Cardinal to at least eight wins in every season, and that’s impressive considering Stanford’s rigorous academic requirements. Other top universities like Rice and Northwestern have been trying to follow this model.
One of our few mantras is to Play Great Football AND Graduate, which we are accomplishing at a high level.
All programs promote their strengths, though some choose to compare themselves to @StanfordFball… but here are the #FactsOverHype: pic.twitter.com/TWCFua8ImU

It might take a few years to turn around Louisville after the disaster that was Bobby Petrino’s last season on campus, but Scott Satterfield is just the man for the job. Louisville fans were bummed that they weren’t able to hire Jeff Brohm away from Purdue, but Satterfield is a proven program builder. He helped Appalachian State bridge the gap from FCS to FBS, and he immediately made the Mountaineers a contender in the Sun Belt. Satterfield is off to a great start in recruiting, so there is some optimism that the program could make huge strides by 2020.
With the dark cloud of the Petrino era gone, Scott Sattterfield's message isn't just playing well inside the program, it's resonating with recruits too. #Louisville, despite 2-10 last year, now has 247's No. 19 recruiting class. That is impressive: https://t.co/uBmMKBLALK

California has done a 180 as a football program over the last few seasons, and Bill Connelly’s chart is a reminder of that. The Golden Bears were pass-happy under Jeff Tedford and Sonny Dykes, but Justin Wilcox has made the school into a defensive juggernaut. The offense has really struggled to be consistent, but Cal fans are hoping that will be figured out in 2019.
